Changes to Instrument Creation (MO) Replay Channels
Effective Sunday, March 30, 2008, CME Group will decommission the Instrument Creation (MO) Replay channels 1 and 16 in the production and Certification environments. Channels 1 and 16 have been decommissioned in New Release.

The new MO Replay channels on the Market Data Platform, introduced in November 2007, allow customers to listen only to the MO messages for which they receive market data. With these new channels, every product RLC data channel (e.g., channel 7, Equity futures; channel 8, Equity options, etc.) now has a dedicated MO Replay channel.

Please note, these changes only affect the RLC-format channels. There are no changes to the ITC 2.1-format channels.

The new MO Replay channels are currently available in New Release, Certification and production. The channel definition tables are available online for Certification and New Release, and for production.

Nonfarm Payroll futures and options will be available for customer testing in Certification and New Release on Monday, April 14.
